Professional Roof Cleaning
Safely remove moss, algae, and lichen to restore your roof's appearance and prevent long-term damage.
About Our Roof Cleaning & Moss Removal Service
Over time, roofs in Scotland inevitably attract moss, algae, and lichen due to the damp climate. While it might look like a mere cosmetic issue, heavy moss growth acts like a sponge, holding moisture against your roof tiles. In winter, this moisture freezes and expands, causing tiles to crack and reducing the lifespan of your roof.
Alpha Roofing and Building Edinburgh provides professional, safe roof cleaning services. We don't use damaging high-pressure washers on delicate tiles. Instead, we use manual scraping techniques followed by a biocide treatment to kill spores and prevent regrowth, leaving your roof looking revitalized.
Common Problems We Fix:
- Heavy moss growth holding moisture
- Tiles cracking due to frost damage (freeze-thaw cycle)
- Moss falling into and blocking gutters
- Unsightly black algae streaks
- Premature aging of the roofing materials
